Kraft Kitchens Tips

Healthy Living

Trim 40 calories and 9 grams of fat per serving by preparing with extra-lean ground beef and 2% Milk VELVEETA.

Kid Friendly

Prepare as directed, substituting 1 lb. lean ground beef for the sausage and 1 cup each shredded carrots and zucchini for the 3 cups sliced zucchini. Also, try using a fun pasta shape, such as wagon wheels.

VELVEETA Sausage and Rice Casserole

Omit pasta. Prepare as directed, adding 1-1/2 cups uncooked instant white rice and 1-1/2 cups water to the meat mixture along with the VELVEETA. Increase the baking time to 35 to 40 min. or until rice is tender and casserole is heated through. Makes 8 servings.

it has been a long time since all 4 of my kids asked for 2nd and then 3rds and STILL cleaned their plate. this was good. i did modify it because i live in the middle of nowhere and didnt have all the ingred. i used hamburger meat and did not use zuccini or pepper. i used onion. i will make it like the recipe next time. family LOVED it.

I made the recipe exactly and it was really good. Even my hubby liked it and he isn't in Ito casseroles or anything mixed together.

Made this for my girlfriend and she absolutely pushed this recipe to the top of her favorites list! It was easy to make and I can only find one downside... it's so good you tend to over-eat!!

My son said it's the best cassarole I've ever made. Added some sliced onions and pepperoni. Didn't have pizza sauce, so used jar spaghetti sauce and a couple of pinches of brown sugar to it. Next time may add mushrooms

My husband LOVED this dish! He rarely gets excited about food,but told me this was a keeper! I would definately make 2-2 1/2 cups pasta...there was too much meat I thought in comparison to pasta. I followed everything else and it was yummy! The italian sausage added a kick of flavor!
